The three Allied Premiers on Monday crossed to Boulogne, where
they met the Italian, Japanese and Belgian delegates. The conference approved of a note, drafted by Marshal Foch and Sir Henry Wilson, calling upon Germany to show good faith in delivering up-her surplus guns and munitions and in reducing her armed forces to 100,000 men, apart from 150,000 " police." The amount to be paid -by -Germany in reparation was fixed, at least tentatively. The Allies agreed to continue the economic negotiations with the Bolshevik agent Krassin " upon -the under- -standing that there was no question of political recognition of the Soviet Government." It was unofficially stated—and M. Venizelos in a conversation with a reporter confirmed the rumour —that the Allies had entrusted Greece with the task of suppress- ing the Turkish insurgents-under Mustapha Kemal.
